Clothed in Love is a children's clothing charity established in 2020 by two Mums. We collect preloved (and new) clothing and book donations from thousands of families, groups and individuals. These are then sorted, packed and delivered free of charge to whānau all over our city. Each pack is a gift not a hand out and is individualised to every child.

The impact of our packs is to provide:

  • Value, Care & Support
  • Confidence for tamariki by gifting them clothing that reflects a regular wardrobe
  • Health as warmer children mean better well being
  • Connection as we work alongside many organisations and agencies where our packs provide positive links to those needing support
  • Opportunities for those to volunteer and give to others
  • Environmental Impact by reducing items that were destined for landfill

Clothed in Love now celebrates:

  • Having delivered well over 11,000 individualised packs to children made up of over 40,000kg of clothing
  • Over 100 active volunteers across 14 teams
  • Working alongside over 40 organisations to provide support
  • Repurposing, reusing and recycling thousands of clothing items
  • Being recipients of thousands of donations from families, communities and workplaces
